MACHINE FOR MAKING TYPES .AND TYPE-BARS.

To all 'whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANCIS H. RICHARDS,

Hartford, in the county of Hartford and State of Connecticut, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Machines for MakingTypes and Type-Bars, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to mechanism for forming impressions upon sheetmaterial and is particularly adapted for use in the typographic art inthe production of type-bars from sheet material.

The machine embodying the present improvements will comprise dies ormolds for acting upon one side of the material under treatment andcomplementary dies or punches for coperative action upon the other sideof the material; carriers will be provided for `the molds and rammingpunches together with mechanism for bringing the selected die and itsassociated punch to the working point together with mechanism forimparting working movements to each of said members.

In the drawings accompanying and forming a part of this specification,Figure l is an end view of a practicable embodiment of a form of myinvention. Fig. 2 is a front elevation thereof.` Fig. 3 is a plan view.Fig. t is an end elevation of a modification, and Fig. 5 is a crosssectional view of a blank being acted upon by a die and counterpartrammer.

A sliding work-holder 3 is illustrated herein, which is shown providedwith clamping means, herein shown as a gib 3, and thumb-screws 3', 3',by which an angle bar B, may be secured in the holder. Gribs g', g,secured to the base A, by screws, serve to retain the holder 3, in agroove g, formed in the base A. A screw-threaded nut 3', fixed on theholder 3, projects downward through a slot in the base A, and engage afeed member herein shown as a screwthreaded shaft 4, which is journaledin suitable bearings secured to the base A, and may be rotated by meansof a crank 5, attached to said feed-member. The crank-handle 5',embodies in the present showing a spring pressed bolt having a conicalpoint 5, which engages in a recess formed in the baseA, and thusprevents the crank 5, from being accidentally moved. The pitch of thethread e of the feed-screw 4:, will purposely bear a Specification ofLetters Patent.

definite relation to a linear unit of type measurement; as, forinstance, to a point, technically so-called; and the several typesformable by the machine, will, in their respective transverse dimensionlengthwise of a line of said types respectively equal multiples of saidunit.

The term type, as used herein, is intended to apply to the printing faceof an impression device, and to also include in the transversedimensions thereof due proportions of the spaces between said face andthe adjacent faces in a line of types, and of the spaces between saidfaces and the faces in adjacent lines of so-called solid matter.Therefore, the elements mentioned may be so definitely proportioned oneto the other that by means of the feed-screw 4, a bar B, may bedefinitely and accurately moved to receive consecutive and properlyspaced impressions from the impressing members herein shown as dies l,l.

Journaled in a bracket a, which is shown integral with the base A, isshown a rotatable shaft 24, which is utilized as a pivot for arocking-frame 6. Journaled in said rocking-frame is shown a rotatableshaft 7, on which is mounted a mold-holder, herein termed a die-carrier,rotatable with the shaft 7, and shown as a disk 8, with radiatingintaglio or molding dies l, l, rigidly mounted on its periphery. A lever6, is fixed upon, and may be integral with the rocking-frame 6, and bymeans thereof the diecarrier 8, may be rocked transversely of thetypebarholder 3. A stop-member which has an arm 6, is fixed upon a hubof the rocking-frame 6, and a fixed stop herein shown as a stud a, and apivoted adjusting stop 27 are shown attached to the bracket a, andpositioned to limit the movement of the stop-member 6, and thereby tolimit the rocking movement of` the frame 6, and die-carrier 8. Mountedon the shaft 7 is also shown a spur gear-wheel 9, adapted to mesh with acurved rack or internally toothed gearsegment 10, the ends of which arepivoted, as at l0', l0', to permit the gearsegment l0, to be rockedtransversely of the gear-wheel 9; an arm 10 being shown as fixed uponthe gear-segment 10, for the purpose mentioned. A handle 1l, is attachedto the arm l0, and embodies a spring-pressed bolt 11, the latter toengage endwise in either of two holes 11, (one only being shown,) whichare formed in the base A, and severally adapted to receive the bolt end.The pitch of the gear-wheel 9, will preferably be an exact divisor ofthat of the die-carrier 8, the latter being considered as a toothedwheel on which the dies 1, 1, are supposed to occupy the positions ofteeth. Assuming now that a die 1, be brought to the proper impressingposition, and the spring-pressed bolt 11', be engaged as shown in thedrawing, the` gear-wheel 9, will so engage the gear-segment 10, as tofirst precisionize, if necessary, the operative die, and thereafter toproperly locate transversely of the typebar any type-formative movementsythat may be made by said die. The type-formative pressure that coactswith the working movements of the molding die to form types may beapplied in gradations varying at each successive movement of said die;said gradations being properly adapted to cause the moldcavity of thedie to gather, at each of said movements, such a portion of thetypeformable material as it may, at the time, be capable of molding intoa shape which is particularly adapted to forward the typeformingprocess. In the mechanism illustrated herein, a cam 12, is shown as amember which will be operated for the purpose mentioned.

A rotatable shaft 12, is shown journaled in bearings c, c, on the baseA. A ratchetwheel 12, mounted upon and adapted to vrotate the shaft 12,is engaged by a springpressed pawl 13', which is pivoted on an arm 13,which will rock on the shaft 12. A link 14:, is also shown pivoted tothe arm 13, and to the rocking-frame 6. rlhe cam 12, is mounted upon androtates with the shaft 12. A vertical rotatable shaft 15, is shown,journaled in la bearing d, upon the base A. Mounted upon one end of theshaft 15, is shown a member herein termed a punchcarrier 1G, in the formof a disk which projects into the angle of a bar B, in the workholder 3,and the other end of said shaft abuts against the periphery of the cam12". Mounted on and axially of the punch-carrier 16, are shown rammersor counterpunches 2, 2, which may be equal in number to the dies 1, 1,and be severally correlated to and adapted to coact with themold-cavities of the respective dies to form types or other characters.For some purposes however, as, for instance, where the dies have similarmoldcavities, a single rammingpunch may be used with a plurality ofdies. Assuming vnow that a eorrelative rammingpunch has been suitablypositioned (as hereinafter related,) to coact with an operative moldingdie in forming a type t, on the particular bar B, which may be inposition in the typebar-holder, and that the lever 6, be operated forthe purposebefore-mentioned; then, at each downward movement of thelever G, the pawl 13', will engage a tooth of the ratchet-wheel 12', andat each returning or upward movement of the lever 6, the pawl 13, willpartly rotate the shaft 12, and cam 12. The periphery of the cam 12,being suitably formed for the purpose, the several partial rotations ofthe latter will cause it to move the shaft 15, punchcarrier 16, andramming-punch 2, toward the operative die 1, and by means of theoperative punch 2, to ram the interposed material of the bar B, into theparticular type-forming member or die 2, which may then be operating onthe bar B. This driving process will be accomplished intermittently, andat each step thereof each working movement of the die may cause thelatter to gather in its mold-cavity such a portion of the type-formablematerial as it may, during the particular movements, be capable ofmolding, as before-mentioned. The cam 12, as shown, is of such a formthat when it has been rotated until its longest radius has passed theaxis of the shaft 15, it will permit the latter with the parts mountedthereon to be suddenly returned to their first positions; said returnbeing effected in this instance by means of a helical spring 15', shownherein as encircling the shaft 15, and engaging at one end a memberwhich is scoured to said shaft, and at the other end a boss d', whichforms a part of the bearing d. The operating die will now be withdrawnfrom the formed type; the gear-segment 10, be unmeshed from thegear-wheel 9, and the die-carrier S, be rotated to bring another die 2,into position to form a type.

Journaled in bearings e, e, is shown a shaft 1T, which may be rotated bymeans of a crank 17, the handle of which embodies a spring-pressedindexing bolt 17, which engages in any of a number of holes 7", j',formed in a graduated index circle concentrically of the shaft 17, on adisk 71 which is carried by the base A. Slidably splined on the shaft17, is shown a worm-threaded sleeve 1S, which is urged toward astop-collar 18, by a helical spring 1S, which encircles the shaft andimpinges against the sleeve 18, and against a boss which forms part of abearing c. The worm-threadell sleeve 18, engages a worm-wheel 151, whichis fixed upon and rotates the shaft 15.

In the boss CZ, is shown a guide-pin rl, which may engage in recesses15, 15, which are formed in the shaft 15, and are equal in number to thelraninring-punches 2, 2, on the punch-carrier 16. The shaft 15, may bereduced in diameter as at 15m, near the hub of the punch-carrier 1h,sulir-.ieutly to let it rotate freely when the reduced portion 15, is ona plane with the guide-pin d. Assuming now that a` punch 2, be broughtto a ramming position relative to the bar B, by rotating thepunch-carrier 1G,

and that the latter, with the shaft l5, be moved toward the die-carrier8; then, the guide-pin d", will enter a recess 15", and 'guide the shaft15, in an axial direction, thereby directing t-he operative punch 2,toward the normal operative positions thereof. By my present invention,provision is made for permittingl the worm-threaded sleeve 18, to moveaxially of the shaft 17, in order to accommodate itself to any movementthereof which may be caused by the axial movement of the worm-wheel 19.In the organization shown herein, the spring 18", will yieldsuiiiciently to allow an axial movement of the threaded sleeve 18, whenthe latter is urged in said direction by an axial movement of the spiralteeth of the worm-wheel 19, engaging with the wormthread on saidsle-eve. In the mechanism shown herein, a clockwise rotation ofW thecra-nk 17', will cause the sleeve 18, to be urged toward and against thecollar 18', b the action of the parts mentioned. Should the crank 1,7',be rotated in the opposite direction, the spring 18", will retain theparts mentioned in contact with each other. Then the sleeve 18, abutsagainst the collar 18', rotation of the former will cause the rotationof the shaft 15, and of the members mounted thereon.

Provision is made by my present invention, for insuring the synchronousrotation of the die-carrier 8, and the punch-carrier 16. In theorganization shown herein, there is mounted on the shaft 17, a crank 20,which is pivoted to one end of a connecting-rod 2l, which is slottedlengthwise as at 2l', where it is engaged by and rocked on afulcrumpivot j', fixed in a bracket j, carried by the base A. At itsother end the connectingrod 21, is pivotally connected to a link 22,which is also pivotally connected with a crank 23, which is mounted onan end of the shaft 24, on which are secured collars 24', 25, to preventend play of said shaft. A tooth 25', projects radially from the collar25, and engages with notches 26', 26', which are shown as formed in adisk 26, and equal in number to the dies 1, 1. The disk 26, is mountedon the shaft 7. The bolt 17" being disengaged from the index disk L,(see more particularly Fig. 1,) the crank 17', may be operated asbefore-mentioned to rotate the shaft 17, and, with the latter, the crank20, by means of which the connectingrod 21, will be so operated as tocause the link 22, to rotate the crank 23, and the shaft 24. At eachrotation of the latter, the tooth 25', of the collar 25, will engage ina notch 26', of the disk 26, and thus partially rotate the latter. Thecorrelation of the members which are operated by the crank 17', will besuch that each rotation of the latter will effect an equal angularmovement of the punch-carrier 16, and the die-carrier 8, and by meansthereof all of the dies l, 1, and punches 2, 2, will be correlativelypresented at their respective type-forming positions, and the engagementof the indexingbolt 17", in a particular hole f, in the indexdisk z.,will denote and insure the type-forming positioning of the indicatedmoldingdie and of the correlative ramming-punch.

In the organization thus far described is embodied mechanism for rockinga moldingdie or dies by a cycloidal movement to form a type upon atypebar; but my present invention is not limited to such mechanism norto a rocking movement of any particular part of the type-formingelements. The die may be operated as before-mentioned, or the punch may,by a suitable motion communicated thereto, force the type-formablematerial into the cavity of the die and the interstices thereof; and inFig. 4 of the drawing, I have illustrated mechanism for forming types orother characters according to my present invention by rocking a bar ofsuitable material against a type-forming die; the bar herein shown beingalso reinforced or backed at the opposite side of the diecontactingpoint. The molding-dies and rammers are shown of the general form shownin the remaining figures of the drawing, and mounted, asbefore-mentioned, in rot-ating carriers. The bar shown in this figure isalso similar in form to one described elsewhere herein; and relativelythe same reference marks are used throughout the drawings, for said barand for the dies and punches and die and punch-carrier. A simp e form ofa mechanical organization is shown in Fig. 4, however, in order to avoidneedless complication in illustrating the operation of my presentinvention in the form thereof which is now being more particularlydescribed.

As shown in Fig. 4, rammel-s orpunches 2, 2, aremounted radially on thepunch-carrier 16, which is rotatably mounted on a horizontal pivot 30',which is fixed in a rocker herein generally designated as 30, whichcomprises a tubular portion 31, and a disciform part 31', between whichand a clamp 32, the punch-carrier 16, and angletypebar B, may be clampedby means of a member shown herein as a knurled nut 33. which will engagewith a screw-thread formedon the stud or pivot 30'. The clamp 32, israbbeted as at 32', to adapt itto hold 120 the angle-bar B., in theproper position for a type to be formed thereon. The rocker 30, is shownas pivoted at 30", to a bracket m, carried by the base A, the axis ofsaid pivot being in line with the type-formative elements when thelatter are operatively positioned. A lug 34, which may be integral withthe tubular member 31, of the rocker 30, is pivotally connected to alink 35, and the latter is also similarly connected to a lso crank 36,mounted on a rotatable shaft 37. In this instance the die-carrier 8, isshown mounted on a vertical shaft 38, rotatable in a bearing formed inthe bracket a, and have a stop-collar 38, secured thereon to preventend-play thereof. The molding-dies 1, 1, are shown in Fig. 4, severallymounted upon die-bodies 1, 1', each of which is reciprocatableparallelly of the axis of the die-carrier 8, and is provided with a head1, with which a returning-spring 1", engages. An indexing bolt 39, isshown, reciprocatable in the bracket a, and adapted to enter indexholes, (not shown herein,) formed in and transversely of the die-carrier8, and which will be equal in number to the dies 1, 1. A hand-lever 40is shown fulcrumed between lugs n, n, which latter may be integral withthe bracket a. The lever 40, as shown, has two arms, one of whichengages the indexing bolt 39, and the other is formed as a hand-piece. Aretractive spring 40, attached at one end to an arm of the lever 40, andat the other end to the bracket a, serves to retain the indexing bolt39, in any index hole in which it may be engaged. An iin-- pressinglever 41, is shown oscillatably mounted at o, on the bracket a, andhaving a handle 41', and a contact part 41, the latter being adapted toimpinge upon the head 1, of any die-body 1, which may be positioned tooperate a die 1, upon the bar B.

In use, the mechanism illustrated in Fig. 9 may be operated as followsThe nut 33, being unscrewed and the clamp 32, being opened sufficiently,a bar B, Will be inserted in the latter in position to have a typeformed thereon by the type-forming elements; a rammer or punch 2, beingmeantime properly positioned or the purpose, by operating thepunch-carrier 16. The clamp 32, Will then be closed upon the bar B, andpunch-carrier 16, by screwing up the nut 33. The indexing bolt 39, beingthen Withdrawn from the index hole in which it may at the time beengaged, the die-carrier 8, will be rotated to properly position theparticular die 1, Which will be adapted to form the required type, andthe die-carrier will then be locked against rotation by means of thebolt 39. The shaft 37, will now be rotated by a suitable driver, (notshown herein,) and by means of the crank 36, and link 35, cause aWorking motion of the rocker 30, on the pivot 30. If the impressinglever 41, be novv depressed, it Will force the operative die 1, againstthe bar B, which, being backed by the operative counter-punch 2, Willassume at the part thereof operated upon, a form in relief Which will bethe counterpart of the cavity in the operative molding die 1. The seriesof operations thus described may be repeated to form a series of typesor other characters, on the bar B.
